Yeah they aren't an easy one to find. The pair my lfs had were about 5 - 6" and a proven breeding pair. They were in a corner planted show tank for soooooo long and then the owner finally decided to sell them. But he wanted $300.00 for the pair. I just couldn't pay that much for them! If I ever do get a breeding pair...bet your bottom dollar they'll buy babies form me though. = )

How much did you end up paying for it? I haven't seen too many of these and my friend has 2 at his store selling at $25 a piece, but only for me since it's in a display tank. =P

Btw, a breeding pair of EBJD would be worthless
 from what i ahve been reading from top breeders and all that, 2 EBJD dont make viable fry, they are too weak and rarely ever even make it past the wiggler stage. You need an EBJD and a standard JD to get them

Even for the price, I'd still buy them just because of their coloration. What do you keep along with it?

well im hoping it turns out to be a male...then my plans are to breed him with my regular female dempsey....jus have to wait till it gets big enough to be able to go in with her. right now i have the blue dempsey in a 38gallon with a few calvus and 2 clown loaches...all of the fish are right around 1" except for 1 calvus about 2" or so. the BJD will join the JD in a 75gallon when big enough....thanks for the compliments on him
